Southampton shocked fans just a couple of weeks ago as they stunned Manchester City to knock them out of the EFL Carabao Cup. Nathan Jones’ side currently lie bottom of the Premier League and it was believed they had little chance of succeeding over Pep Guardiola’s squad, but goals from Sekou Mara and Moussa Djenepo ensured their EFL Cup journey progressed to the final four.

Their most recent outing was a 1-0 loss to Aston Villa over the weekend, but the Saints will be sure to use their home advantage when facing Newcastle United this week.

Newcastle are currently third in the Premier League following their 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace at the weekend. It is now only goal difference that separates them from Manchester United in fourth place, following their 3-2 loss to Arsenal on Sunday.

The Magpies were shockingly knocked out of the FA Cup by Sheffield Wednesday earlier in the month but have since gone on to beat Leicester (EFL quarter-final) and Fulham (Premier League).

Jones and Eddie Howe will now meet twice to determine which team has reached the EFL Cup semi-final with the second leg coming next week at St James’ Park.

Five stars missed out for Southampton at the weekend and Juan Larios and Tino Livramento will continue to miss out once again this week. It remains to be seen whether Alex McCarthy, Theo Walcott and Armel Bella-Kotchap will be fit in time for the EFL fixture.

Bruno Guimaraes had been a more serious concern for the Magpies but after managing to complete a full 90 minutes against Crystal Palace at the weekend, it would appear he will be available for selection this week. However, Howe will be without Jonjo Shelvey, Matt Targett and Emil Krafth.
